Need help. What to do?

This happened to me this am on my way to work & a bird decides to cross my path & shatter my right headlight!

Should I get them replaced? What's the cost? Or upgrade them? I have OEM xenon adaptive headlights

Upgrading to LED will be not plug and play, it will require some modifications.

You're right! It's gonna be a headache & the cost might not be worth IMO

Ouch, that sucks. Can't say I've ever heard of such case.

It happens I guess, not a huge deal.
As for upgrade, I wouldn't bother personally, just don't see the need to do that.

I'm going to replaced this headlight, question is would it be a plug & play or would does it require any coding or reprogramming???

Can't the lens be replaced, I know this was the case on older BMW's. Maybe not the case with xenons though...
